Appropriately, Harvey has been hogging the spotlight recently. But for us in the solar business, the real-life availability of the Chem Resu, which has been “in transit” for what seems like a lifetime, is big news.

It required a host of additional hardware components, a huge stack of lead acid batteries, and some really fancy wiring. We in the business have known all along that whoever could figure out how to make a self-contained, cost-effective backup solution would change the solar world as we know it. And LG has done it. And we can get them!
